Creamy Lemon Dessert

Serves 6-10 Prep Time 2 hours   Cook Time 40 minutes   Rated:


This is such a quick and simple dessert to make using leftover sponge cake, if that is a thing in your house? But we do have a recipe here for the sponge cake as well. Of course you could buy a good ole cheapie sponge cake and have it handy as well.

You will be surprised by how quickly this comes together and you really could use any fruit you have that is a little bit tart, think blueberries, strawberries, nectarines or peaches. You could also fold through some raspberry coulis!

This goes a long way, isn't as fiddly as trifle or cheesecake and can be made in advance as it does benefit from the flavours all coming together and having a little time together.

Try some of our other uses for the sponge cake if you wish:

Victoria Sponge Cake

New York Cheesecake

Boozy Vanilla Sponge Truffles

Aussie (G)Lamingtons with Cream and Strawberry Jam

Pink Lamington Cake

Heaven and Hell Bombe Alaska
